Do you ever wonder what happens inside the cloud?

DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) simplifies cloud computing so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. With our mission-critical infrastructure and fully managed offerings, DigitalOcean enables startups and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to rapidly deploy and scale modern applications. As a remote-first organization, our employees, like our customers, are based around the world.

We are building an Eventing Platform to support our customer's needs.

On DigitalOcean’s Eventing Team, you will build and operate cloud-scale distributed systems.  You’ll be facilitating an asynchronous exchange bus so that independent services can share and aggregate information and later consume it. 

What You'll Be Doing:

• Building APIs 
• Architecting an eventing model to be adopted widely by many developers and products
• Working closely with DBRE teams to ensure the backplane meets the needs of the eventing system
• Working closely with engineering teams to help them adopt the eventing system and replace legacy components
• Coding to meet the asks of engineering teams to perform things like aggregations of events in custom or unique ways
• Automate as much of the operational work as possible to allow time for innovation

What We Expect From You:

• Mastery in one or more of the following languages: Go, Python. We primarily use Go.
• Experiences working with configuration management, deployment automation, and instrumentation.
• An appreciation of SRE principles, along with utilizing data and automation to improve systems.
• Excellent communication skills. We work intimately with product teams to ensure our customers have the observability they need to be successful on our platform.
• Empathy and appreciation of front-end technologies such as React and GraphQL. We step up to move the needle wherever that code may be. 
• Familiarity with Apache Kafka, RedPanda, or similar datastores.
• You have strong opinions when it comes to building and using APIs and you can articulate the reasons why.
• Huge bonus points if you’ve built an eventing or asynchronous communication bus in the past.

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:

• We reward our employees. The base salary range for this position is between $120,000 - $145,000 based on relevant years of experience and skills.  The salary range for this role is specific to candidates located within the U.S. and will vary for candidates outside the U.S.. Employees may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees including grants of equity upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
• We value development. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging our teams and employees to continuously grow. We maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development through formalized mentorship and other internal programs. We provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
• We care about your well-being. In addition to cash and equity compensation, we also offer employees a competitive array of benefits. In the United States, these include health insurance, flexible vacation, retirement benefits, a generous parental leave program, and additional resources to support employees' overall well-being. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary in other countries due to local regulations and preferences.
• We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal-opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
